Colour Me Positive – Week 21

Welcome to Week 21. This week is all about G.E.M. Gratitude, Empathy and Mindfulness. Clicking on the below image will take you to the Facebook group.

This week a gentleman by the name of Hugh van Cuylenburg spoke to the Warrnambool community about ‘The Resilience Project’. Although I couldn’t make it, my husband recorder the audio on his phone, so I could listen to it.

In his talk, Hugh talks about how to improve mental health and therefore one’s happiness. This talk was relevant for everyone, from children right through to elderly.

Hugh talks about three key aspects in regards to improving your happiness and they are Gratitude, Empathy and Mindfulness. Here is Hugh during part of a talk.

If you don’t want to watch it all, listen from 13.55 where he talks about GRATITUDE.

EMPATHY

Extra Challenge:

For an extra challenge this week. Starting tonight, I want you to right down 3 things that went well for you today and continue this for as long as you can. Aim for 42 days if you can. Maybe this can be the under layer of your journal pages or you can include them as your last layer. Anything goes. Good luck.

For those of you who would like daily or alternative prompts, I have prepared a Daily Journal Prompt List. You can find it in the Facebook Group under Files.
